Christmas Break 2013

The day after Christmas everyone headed through the woods to Grandmother's house. Matt and Keri and Jeremy and Giselle all headed over. Before everyone got there Mom and I went on a fun little shopping trip for maternity outfits. We were hoping to catch the day after Christmas sales, but didn't really seem to get many sales! Anyway, I found some cute shirts that I love! I wore the striped one to my baby shower. It was fun to hang out with my Mom, and just go shopping. I wished we lived closer so we could do it more often!! Someday! After the shopping trip we got home, and Jeremy and Giselle showed up shortly after. It is always fun to see them after a long time away.

 On Friday Jon and Autumn joined us for Owen and Logan's baptism.

It is amazing how fast 8 years flies by. I remember when these two were little babes, and I would just hold them and cuddle them. 

The baptism was held on the 27th of December, and many people were able to attend. We had everyone there from our family except for Jeff and Sarah. It was a really special evening.

Saturday 28th- That day was my baby shower which was so fun!  My friends Angie, Yvette, and Andrea put it on for me with the help of my little sister Melody. We had such a fun time, and many of my friends came to help me celebrate!! The boys all went to Mark and Hailey's house while we were having our girls party.

On Sunday we all went to church together. Matthew, Keri, Jon, Autumn, Mom, Dad, Melody, Rhett, Me, and all the little ones. We had a lovely dinner afterwards and then bid farewell to Jon, Autumn, and kids.

All the other kids were off playing. This little one here was easy to capture and take pictures!

Rhett and Colin became best buds. 

That evening we watched a cool documentary called The New York Doll about a rock and roll star that joined the church. While we watched the documentary Mom was holding sleeping Colin.

Monday- We all hung out for one last day before Rhett and I took off to go back to Vegas. That night we went to go see the Caldwell lights. They really do an amazing job, and it is so beautiful to see! Oh and the weather is freezing, but we all bundled up. 

Tuesday 31st- Mom and Dad made us an amazing yummy breakfast before we headed off. We packed our things, and said our goodbyes. Of course I am a big ball baby and cried. It is hard to leave my family, but I will see them soon! We had a great Christmas break at home!

New Years Eve- After we left Mom and Dad's we headed to Utah to make a pit stop at our friend's Laura and Tyler's. We got there around 7pm, and headed to our favorite sushi place ( No, I did not eat any of the raw stuff). We were so stuffed by the time we were done, but it was oh so good! We rang in the New Year that night playing phase ten, toasting with Martinelli's, and watching the ball drop! Oh, and I got a steamy kiss from my hubby! It was a fun New Years! 

2013 was a great year for us, and we have seen many blessings in our lives! We are excited to see what 2014 has in store for us!
